EDB PgPool-II 4.2.6 release notes v4
Released: 01 Dec 2021
EDB Pgpool-II 4.2.6 includes the following upstream merge and security fix:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Upstream merge | Merged with community Pgpool-II 4.2.6. See the community Release Notes for details. |
| Security fix | Reject extraneous data after SSL encryption handshake. In the server-side implementation of SSL negotiation, it was possible for a man-in-the-middle attacker to inject arbitrary SQL commands if it was configured to use cert authentication or hostssl + trust. This addresses PostgreSQL's CVE-2021-23214. In the client-side implementation of SSL negotiation, it was possible for a man-in-the-middle attacker to inject arbitrary responses if the database server is using trust authentication with a clientcert requirement. It is not possible with cert authentication because Pgpool-II does not implement the cert authentication between Pgpool-II and PostgreSQL. This addresses PostgreSQL's CVE-2021-23222. |
Note
This security fix is also available in EDB Pgpool-II 4.1.9, 4.0.16, 3.7.21, and 3.6.28.
